Reminiscing

Memories rush in
Where idle minds play
And tear wells get filled
As time has it's way.

You said I was strong
Though you hadn't a clue,
I guess all along
I really fooled you.

The friends that I had
Passed like seasons in time.
I collected their memories
And walked my own line.

I set out to conquer
The dreams that I had
And lived them I did
But I wasn't so glad.

I thought I was strong
But I hadn't a clue,
What made me so rich
Was being with you.

Your passing was tough
And it almost killed me,
But lived life for you
And thought I was free.

I set out to keep
Your memory alive,
Not knowing the pain
I carried inside.

I slid down my rope
And fell off the end,
I cried out for help
But help was not sent.

Alone in the muck
And despair in this life,
I learned the hard lessons
And took them in stride.

It's been now so long
Since that journey began,
My life's not the same
And you should really be glad.

I went from a world
Where I lived on a lie
And fell from my rope
Where I lost my great pride.

I learned to forgive
As I shed many a tear,
Looked into the face
Of what I had feared.

I learned to let go
As I lost what I had,
Now a new journey's afoot
With a promise to grab.
